Well, dearest Val, hun, carrying my case is a good start.....but how good of a pal are you? :happy114: When I get :sick007: on the plain, would you hold my hair back for me :transport015:

Have you been to Old Towne before? If not, hold on tight to your DH. It can be a bit scary at night.

We've never been before.....all previous comments I've had about the place said it was ok and the locals were friendly
Scary as in......dark.....unfriendly folk.....likely to get dirty looks/face punched?
I'm changing my itinerary....I may not be pretty but I don't want my face re-arranging for me

Whoa this is one busy holiday!! You're gonna need another holiday to recover
Still, I'd rather be doing stuff than lying on a beach for 4 weeks so I'd be the same

The first time I went to Florida, we stayed near Old Town and I vaguely remember the car parade thing. It was busy with lots of people just like a typical Saturday night. I have to say it wasn't really my cup of tea but you have to try these things don't you

Seems like an action packed and well organised trip Diane.
Now I wonder why you are stopping off for a pizza. You`re not going to follow the delivery van this time are you?
Oh, and who on Earth would text you at some un-godly hour? Tch, some folks eh?
